Q39 / 159 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · d and f Block Elements
In context with the transition elements, which of the following statement is incorrect?
- Correct answerAIn the highest oxidation states, the transition metals show basic character and form cationic complexes.
- BIn the highest oxidation states of the first five transition element [Sc to Mn], all the 4s and 3d electrons are used for bonding.
- COnce the configuration is exceeded, the tendency to involve all the 3d electrons in bonding decreases.
- DIn addition to the normal oxidation states, the zero-oxidation state is also shown by these elements in complex.
Solution
As in higher Oxidation states transition elements show acidic nature for example . Rest of the other statements given here are correct features of these elements.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
